How about Yu Grupa? I don't think they're included in this site.
I'm also curious to put my hands on a classic cd by Drugi Nacin. I only have their same titled cd from 1993...well, I agree with you. That's not prog.

YU GRUPA is a classic rock band from ex YU. Contains elements of hard rock, blues, boogie, Balkan folk and prog rock. Very good band, especially their first three studio albums. Still, I think the prog elements are not sufficient to be considered prog rock, but I know many sites put them into "progressive" category.
DRUGI NACIN self-titled debut (1975) is essential (heavy) prog rock with lots of flute. I know it has been reissued on CD together with only album by NEPOCIN, which is a separate band founded by DN leader I. Kurtovic upon their breaking up in 1977. They play similar style of prog with flute.

Thanks again, Seyo, for the suggestions and comments.
I hope to cast the track listings of the three compilations I've bought in august while searching for yugo prog in Istria.
It's a three cds compilation issued in 2000 (over 70 mns each) and is all about the seventies. There are lots of bands and names. Some of the tracks aren't prog, though, even when credited to the big names as Korni Grupa etc...
Some of the tunes seem to be radio and commercial outputs.

You are correct!
PGP was (and still is I guess) a state-run music company notorious for having poor, conservative and uneducated musical editors, usually prefering the cheap mainstream, massively popular music.
However, they had a huge catalogue and licence rights so occassionally they released very interesting stuff.
But, this 3CD collection is obviously hastily assembled by non-experts, even some titles are misspelled, without any style or thematic reasoning as to why these artists are here together, apart from the 1970s timeline.
Still, it can be a good introduction to Yugo music of the period and key names are represented. But key prog tracks are missing, instead they included more commercial stuff from prog bands (Indexi, Korni, Smak...)
All said, I guess it is a useful compilation for first time listeners... Enjoy!

On this huge list there are several rare oddities from the 70s. I will make a list and put it in the "Suggest new bands thread".

Yeah! I saw that and it's been like that for several months now. :(
It would be easier for them to copy the info from PA for website

Thanks for Dragan! Nice music. Quite original use of accordion which is not rooted in Balkan folk! Seems like a good, fresh singer/songwriter with clear influence of USA country rock or alt country styles. Uptempo, strong rhythms remind me of Tex Mex giants Los Lobos.
Danceable, with catchy phrases, can be real hit, even in large pop scene.
Recommended for all English speaking audience.
Not for PA, though.
